Stash, stitching and the start of the que(e)st(e)

First of all: don't forget to take a look at Millys blog; she is such a sweet lady and has a wonderful giveaway. As promised you will get here a first update of stitching things, buying stuff and a riddle. have lots of other pictures to share, but will do it in pieces.

The SAL I'm doing with Ines. I haven't gotten far, although i worked several evenings on it. But it is on such a high count, so it goes slowly. I plan to stitch the white and dividing colors first, so I can take it on vacation. It will be easy to stitch on it in the car, if I don't have to take the pattern all the time. The picture isn't good: for once this year there was too much sun:-)

I have been stitching also a lot on my summer exchange on Margaret Sherrys lovers blog. I can't,show it for the weeks,to come, but will post a picture of it when it arrives. I haven't finished it , but hope to do so next week.

New stash arrived this week: threads and fabric I ordered at Nina. All these colors are so gorgeous.

I ordered these floss colors for another SAL, claire de la lune, at luna's blog.
It's one I really look forward to stitch. As a matter of fact I start
tomorrow with the moon! I am behind, cause of the past two weeks, and I
don't want to miss this one. I'm stitching it on 32 count Twilight blue
linen.

These colors I ordered for Halloween and autumn.

Couldn't
resist to order some fabric too! I really think Nina's fabric is
wonderful to work with and the color vintage powder lilac is stunning.

Now if you made it this far: I promised to tell you why I choose the name dulcinella, but only if you tried to find out first. I've choosen the name for three reasons: you're welcome to tell me your guesses. But please don't spoil it for others, so send yournanswers to my personal email at jacquelinebrelle@gmail.com. I will give a prize to the person who has the best answers, but I keep the prize secret just for now. But I promise : it will be worthwhile!

You'll find tips in my blogposts every time I post one the next two or three weeks. Competition is open to all readers.

Nomen est omen, they say in Latin. Is that true for all my aliasses and e-mailadresses?
